## Verdict

By Editorial team. Opinion within the published method; every figure is from the record below.

GEO Seminar: AI Overviews, Perplexity & Co. is a one-day live-online seminar in German from eMBIS Akademie, taught by Severin Lucks. The public evidence is thin: no course-level rating on any platform, evidence tier D and low confidence, so the directory lists it without a rank. What the provider does publish is checkable: a price on its own site at $895.52, a cancellation policy, a named trainer and a curriculum running from generative search to measurement and workflow automation. It fits German-speaking marketers who want one fixed day and a trainer to question live. Skip it if you want recordings, a rated course or proof of outcomes before paying.

### Who it fits

-   German-speaking marketers who want one scheduled training day
-   In-house SEO staff and agency teams needing a live trainer
-   Buyers who want a certificate and Open Badge on the day

### Who should skip it

-   Buyers who want independent reviews before paying
-   Self-paced learners who need recordings to revisit
-   Anyone whose priority is local AI SEO or off-page work

## GEO Seminar: AI Overviews, Perplexity & Co. review: questions

How much does the GEO Seminar cost?

The provider publishes a one-off price per date on its own site, quoted in euros plus VAT and converted here to $895.52. A course-finder listing shows a VAT-inclusive figure instead. Price trend since June: none. Checked 18 September 2026.

Does the GEO Seminar have a refund policy?

Yes, and it is published rather than inferred. Cancellation is free until a stated cut-off before the event date; after that point, cancellations and no-shows are charged in full. Checked 18 September 2026.

Who teaches the GEO Seminar?

Severin Lucks of DELUCKS is named as trainer on the eMBIS page, with a public profile there. No published AI search tests or conference talks were found under his name in public sources at the checked-on date, 18 September 2026.

What does the GEO Seminar cover?

Confirmed on the provider's page: GEO, LLM citations, entity SEO, AI visibility measurement, structured data, content written for extraction and workflow automation. Links and off-page work and local AI SEO are out of scope. AEO, traditional SEO and AI crawler access are unverified; checked 18 September 2026.

Is the GEO Seminar worth it?

Its composite score is 53, held down by the absence of any public rating or review volume. The directory lists it but does not rank it. A German-language alternative, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): Werde zur KI-Antwort, has stronger public evidence at a lower published price.
